THE COLORADO CRUSH: 63 Days of Endurance | Ultra Running Documentary

[@fynthemtns]

Incredible film! So beautiful and motivating, showing the power of family and connection, illustrating the immense highs and lows, and capturing the gorgeous landscape of Colorado. So much strength and grit - all the tears and laughs. Y'all crushed Colorado, and this film 🔥 So excited to see the future of the Audacious Report!

[@theaudaciousreport]

Thank you so much Fyn!!!! So glad you enjoyed the film 💥

[@beachnap]

Sam was to Robbie the way Samwise was to Frodo. He is the unsung hero and I am so proud to be a part of a running community comprised of people like him. Way to go Robbie, you are incredible and that is reflected in the wonderful people are are surrounded and supported by.

[@jasonmacclain9756]

I paused the video to let him rest awhile 🤯

[@showmethewater3980]

That's actually kinda funny 😂

[@theaudaciousreport]

Great video and super accomplishment(s). I only take exception with the “later in life i’am 36” comment- i found running at 64 and am now 70 😆👍🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@donniehuffman6014]

Hands down....the most inspirational production I've ever watched!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@theaudaciousreport]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MattGoesSkiing]

What an awesome dude Sam is!

[@danalbertson8096]

"Integrity and consistent character". My favorite words in the film.

[@joe1071]

Gotta tackle the Appalachian Trail at some point. Also, check into the north country trail. An absolute beast. 4800 miles in the USA. Longest trail that I know of

[@brianperez8019]

Robbie keeps inspiring! shoutout to sam!!

[@theaudaciousreport]

Sam is the man.

[@joe1071]

Live in the Colorado mountains, hiked many of the 14ers (all separate occasions lol) and it ain’t no joke. This dudes a legend

[@Bhov713]

Love it! I was born and raised in Colorado, have done Leadville a few times and a handful of fourteeners. This film really captures the essence of Colorado trail running, the Leadville series, and Robbie's story. Excellent.

[@rgh622]

OMG! I have no words... That was an incredible feat of endurance Robbie. I'm inspired to keep my whining to a minimum from this day forward.

[@java8191]

Here we go!!

[@peaksandpaws]

Wow! This made me cry hard!! I just finished my very first 100-miler and I felt defeated so many times. Watching Robbie crush Colorado was just insanely inspiring. The amount of grit and determination one human being can summon when they have to is absolutely incredible. Congratulations to you, Robbie! You indeed crushed Colorado!!!

[@smokeystone8005]

Congratulations on your 100 miler 🙏

[@peaksandpaws]

@@smokeystone8005 Thank you! That's very nice of you...

[@theaudaciousreport]

Thank you!! 🙏 so glad the film was inspiring to you

[@pessesatx]

Amazed by Robbie continuing to find extremely difficult challenges and adding up these achievements! Great video and thanks to his support crew and video team who dedicated their selfless time to document this milestone.

[@jalexb503]

Such a good film! Makes me want to keep running these trails. Moved to Boulder just a few months ago and I’ve got several years of running under my belt, came here to dig and I love to see others do the same.

[@ischju]

This channel needs love

[@mariannemackenziecoaching5552]

tears! laughed and cried. Great documentary and high 5 to y'all!

[@stevenseighman4842]

So inspiring! Robbie continues to show up and remind us that we can go beyond the limits we set for ourselves. And what a beautifully made film! For as much effort as Robbie put into these events, I imagine it took a whole lot for the crew documenting it as well-especially on that terrain. What an amazing job by everyone involved!

[@theaudaciousreport]

Thank you Steven!

[@ajreycer3294]

Thank you for taking us along. This is an incredible glimpse into the man, the myth, the legend Robbie Balenger.

[@collinmorris]

I ran the LT100 that year. Those screams of agony were very similar to the ones I let out at times during that race. Amazing effort and documentary!

[@mariannemackenziecoaching5552]

Robbie you continue to amaze me (from the early Mulberry days). Loved the personal struggle and personal transformation unfolding on the screen. And my favorite moments were seeing you and Shelley together. So proud of you and learning from you still. You certainly are leaving your mark on the world Robbie. Do YOU!

[@Guevarra2]

Amazing! Congratulations to the whole team!! Robb is a beast!

[@markwitt5544]

Go Robbie Go! So inspirational!

[@craigtaylor2512]

Wow, just wow, what a watch and more importantly, what an achievement. Incredible heart and grit👏👏👏👏

[@arsonnickadventures]

CRUSHED IT!! So incredible and inspiring!

[@Ultrarunningamber]

This is absolutely amazing! You are so very mentally tough! Congrats on the Crush!

[@dco_]

Hell yeah brother! I heard you on the Adventure Sports Podcast. What an incredible feat you've accomplished. And I love the message you're putting out there about being plant-based. What great advocacy. As a Denverite that loves playing in the CO mountains every changing season and a vegan for over 5 years now, you're definitely doing something amazing here. Much love, hope to see you out or run across you on a trail someday.

[@higler.]

Props to Sam for being a real one

[@HemDogz89]

Love how you said you found running later in life. I've been yoyo-ing with running for years, but I'm laser focused on it this time. Starting to take it seriously at 34 years old. You're an inspiration mate.

[@LovelyMilliee]

Amazing and so inspiring!! Definitely brought tears to my eyes. Wow.

[@theaudaciousreport]

Thank you!!

[@janinecarlos1718]

Amazing story. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@topherjaynes]

Robbie you’re amazing. Sam you’re a beautiful human.

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

Great film, definitely learned a few things on how to improve my own mountain films.

[@leolikestopedal726]

Awesome accomplishment!! Keep enjoying it👊🏼👊🏼

[@cjclaeys4368]

I just wanted to say that I was essentially immobile 4 months ago. I drank about 20 16oz beers a day, never got up from the remote work computer job and I could only walk 100 feet before the circulatory issues in my leg would prevent me from willing another step because it is so painful. I was stuck, even as a tough dude that feels no real pain thanks to years of beating the crap out of myself, you can't will your way out of that. I was in the hospital 5 days and ended up being diagnosed with afib, irregular heart rhythm. I switched to Vegan immediately, told them to enjoy prescribing stuff while it lasts and have lost 110 pounds, walk 5 miles a day now @3mph in altitude and after watching this, I will never walk alone again. This isn't about me at all, rather I wanted to provide context for this: Thank you Reece and Robbie for such and inspiring film, it will always be with me as I push my own limits. It isn't pain, it is growth.

[@JEKYLLHYDE123]

Enjoyed it immensely, have the feeling of really knowing you. Keep going

[@DoItNutrition]

Cool I found this video. I cycled across country for 63 days no days off for 6,400 miles. Similarities with pushing yourself to the limits. I finished with a 200 mile day, a goal I was trying to reach.

[@jonathansonnier3078]

I dint expect the ROCKIES to be this freakin Rocky … It’s like a reverse Harry Dunne. That damn John Denver strikes again… lol 😂 Thanks for posting this amazing motivation man 👊🏽
